“Orlando!! I’m going to Disneyland!!!”—-Bruce Springsteen

Thanks goes out to my buddy Bagel who heard Springsteen say this at tonight’s concert and sent in the quote….Note to Bruce….it’s Disney World here in Florida not Disneyland….

You’ve got to give the Orlando Magic marketing people credit, they are trying to get everybody swept up in the “Blue and White Ignite” promotion….even the media. I went to the game last night and sat almost directly behind the section where the press sits behind the floor.

As it was on Sunday, each seat in the O-Rena, had either a blue shirt or a white shirt on it, and people were encouraged to put them on. I was in the white section this time, and I guess so were the press people.

That’s because on almost all of the chairs I saw, there was a white shirt laying on them. To every press person’s credit at the game, I did not see anyone put on the shirt, I even saw some writers throw their shirts to fans in the stands.

Are the Magic serious though? Why even put any shirts in that section? Do they really believe that any member of the media was going to put that t-shirt on. Were they trying to influence them, or was it just an honest mistake by the people who put the t-shirts on the chairs?

Either way, it was embarrasing to have to watch working media members, have to sit on the white Magic t-shirts.
